Career & Technical Education
Welcome to Career and Technical Education
The Career and Technical Education Department provides students with training to acquire skills necessary for success in post-secondary training as well as the work-place. Articulation between the school system and post-secondary institutions also provides students with an opportunity to receive post-secondary credit as they complete their secondary course work. Industry-based certification is a driving force in all areas of the career and technical education curriculum. In many classes, students are able to earn industry-based certifications related to the course work in which they are enrolled. With internships and cooperative education options, students can also graduate with a "Career and Technical Education Endorsement" on their high school diploma.
Summer Career Academy is Available to Students
Summer Career Academy offers an opportunity for students to earn new course credit for CTE courses, obtain industry-based credentials, and receive a paid stipend. For more information, scan the Summer Career Flyer.
